'The Grand High Witch of All The World' or just 'The Grand High Witch' is a title given to the leader of all witches according to Roald Dahl's 1983 book The Witches. She is described as being "without mercy" and she travels all around the world summoning all the witches of whatever country she is in, giving congratulations or reprimands to them depending on how good she judges them at destroying children.

Personal characteristics

Like all witches within the story, the Grand High Witch inevitably will have no toes, no hair, claws instead of fingernails, blue saliva, a small but terrifying flame in the middle of her eyes and slightly larger-than-average nostrils. The Grand High Witch that the narrator encounters, however, also has a face that looks as though it has been "pickled in vinegar" and is worm-eaten.
